Many times David "Opa" Marshall has went out of his way to help me. I found him to be kind, and very patient. I will miss him much. The Flight Sim community has suffered a great loss at his passing. My condolences to his family. R.I.P "Opa"

Hi, Trojans sometimes embed themselves deeply into your system and hard to get rid of. You think you have deleted the problem file only to discover later it was embedded under several file names into your system. I found a site you may want to look at.. http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/T...2FBumat!rts This is a quote from part of the page.."Technical Information (Analysis)Trojan:Win32/Bumat!rts is a name used for trojan detections that have been added to our signatures after advanced automated analysis. The generic nature of this detection means that the malicious behaviors exhibited by files detected as Trojan:Win32/Bumat!rts are highly variable and may vary from once instance of this detection to the next. No further information is currently available on this threat. However, should we receive a significant number of reports, then a specific detection will be added to our signatures and a detailed analysis will be added to the encyclopedia."John's advice about getting a registry checker from a magazine disc or a known reputable download site is very good, and you should follow that. Good luck with it!

I found this info doing a Google search..... "This issue can occur if your computer is infected with a SubSeven Trojan virus."http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259279There are 2 links you can use to search for SubSeven.Maybe worth a check.Hope it helps.Opps. I see John already posted this link.Sorry John for the double post.

Every tech I've talked suggested that the system will operate best if the HD isn't cluttered.They recommended not actually using more than half the HD space for optimum performance.That's just my humble opinion. I'm certainly no expert.The more you have on the HD leads to more in the registry..system slows down because it is trying to process too much.Maybe more would have been a better word..Perhaps I am wrong on the hard drive usage.Perhaps 20% free space is sufficient.That could be debated because of the info that is written into the registry every time something is added to the file system.In any case more RAM would be a good idea.

Add more RAM.You are using too much of your hard drive space. As a general rule, the more space you occupy on your H D the less efficient your system will operate.Delete some unnecessary programs, or get a bigger H D.

Hi, I did download and try FS Recorder last night. I only used it to see how it would modify the aircraft cfg, views option.I tried modifying one aircraft cfg, and it seemed to modify the cfg for a few planes while I was attempting only one. I uninstalled it.Perhaps I missed something, but I'd recommend modifying each aircraft.cfg manually, that you wish to change. It's simple to do really, Just make a backup of the cfg before you modify it .

Reading the info on the FS Recorder site, it sounds like maybe this program would alter the aircraft cfg and hold the last value entered!? "Advanced views (FS2004 only) * multiple tower/spot/VC views, selectable via menu or keyboard * optional manual panning of view direction in tower/spot views * automatic zooming * saving/loading sets of tower/spot/VC views"Looks like, Napamule already answered that...Hmm, says saving though... * saving/loading sets of tower/spot/VC views"

Hello, You might find some useful info here.. http://forums.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?t=69171

You might try flying in Switzerland.Just about every flight I've made over there is nice.

Howard's trees is a good one ( treeswap.zip).You can get it at www.flightsim.com . I've tried a few, and it's the best I found.I've been flying using the fall tree textures.The fall tree textures provide some nice color.

Howard's tree textures are very good.

Hello all Has anyone found an OceanHeightField that will make the waves more attractive while using ULTIMATE WATER ADVANCED ?I like the texture color of this but the waves leaves some to be desired.I found that wave action can be changed some by replacing the OceanHeightField.bmp.I was curious what others thought, and maybe someone had some suggestions.I've tried changing all the setting within FS...I put the original OceanHeightField.bmp back in the texture folder this morning. The waves are different, but I'm still not satisfied.I was using aquarama, and it is very good, but I find myself constantly trying to improve FS to my liking. I hope someone has some ideas I can try.

I downloaded, and installed Howard's mix the other day. ( Took quite a while on dial-up :( ) The aircraft textures seemed a better , but that was it. Water was not good. Mountains didn't look that much better, if any,in fact I'm not convinced they looked as good. I have USA Extreme Landscapes, and a few other ones by Abacus installed, maybe that's why. :( . I made a backup of FS before installing, and reverted back to it. The weather settings made with Howard's still remained, but I kind of like those. I suppose you can't beat the payware available. There is plenty of freeware available, that seem to make FS9 better...Just be sure to make a backup first. The image below is without Howard's..just thought I should add that.

I was checking the monitor out and discovered the monitor driver was out dated. I got a new one, from LG, I downloaded and installed. The default driver was dated 2001... :( I just made a few long flights, with a few different aircraft. No problems yet. Thanks for the help, Don :(

I believe it did. I tried a few planes that I had altered, and got the line. I also got it with at least one default plane. ( I was choosing planes randomly). There's several ways to overclock my machine. I've had it at 3% using aibooster before.I didn't like aibooster. I figured I'd give 5% a shot manually from bios.I have it back to auto now. It seems faster here, and FS is working good.Maybe I should leave it alone now...:(I was changing some panels around before it happened. I noticed that the 2d cockpit panel would slide up and down if I wanted it to. 1680 x 1050 is a weird screen size and some of the panels take up too much screen space. Under some of the 2d panels was an area that was blacked out. Do you know why it's there, or how to remove it? Where can I find, good, panels designed for 1680 x 1050 resolution screens. I don't use the 2d cockpit to fly much anyway, but it's nice to have a nice one there.In any case it's working ok now..lol :(
